Then we are off to the National Trust owned Nostell Priory. A splendid Palladian Mansion built with the fortunes made by the Winn Family from the Textile Industry in London. Full of Robert Adam and Chippendale influence. This beautiful house is full of treasures which includes a 300 year old doll’s house, which has been in

Understanding the risks of COVID-19
The risk of catching or passing on COVID-19 can be higher in certain places and when doing certain activities. COVID-19 is spread by airborne transmission, close contact via droplets, and via surfaces. Airborne transmission is a very significant way that the virus circulates. It is possible to be infected by someone you don’t have close contact with, especially if you’re in a crowded and/or poorly ventilated space.
